1. Print version

Print and eBook editions of Modern C, Second Edition, can now be ordered from my publisher, Manning. Help and investment from Manning have been crucial for this Second Edition of Modern C.

If you’d like to support our hard work, and receive a nicely formatted print or eBook, please consider buying a copy from https://manning.com at the following URL:

https://www.manning.com/books/modern-c

Those purchasing a copy are helping keep this important resource available as an open edition on this website.

There is a discount code MODC35 to get 35% off for either a print or eBook copy. All you should need to do is apply the code at checkout.

2. Online resources

2.1. Downloads

The most recent version available is from Oct. 10, 2019, with some minor fixes, mostly typos.

a CC licensed version of Modern C
a MIT licensed version of the code examples

2.2. Blog

I sometimes use my blog to dump new ideas where I think C should head to, and to keep an updated list of the features that might go into C2x.

2.3. Bugs

Previously, before migrating to this gitlab site, bugs such as typos have been followed with a bug tracker. That list has been saved, but not yet processed into an updated version. Eventually, we might open up an issue tracker, here.

3. Be a sponsor

I am not producing this book for a living, but the people at Manning do. If you still think that you don't want to buy a printed or e-paper version and are satisfied by using the public version, you're welcome to do so.

You could still think of contributing a little bit, either by volunteering to

your favorite software project
a software industry improvement project
a free speech or publication project
the national C standards committee of your country

or anything else that makes the whole world (or maybe just our planet) a better place.

You could also contribute by giving whatever money you may spare to such a project. There are many projects in need of contributions, not all important open source projects out there are financed by big money, and that independence is important.
